Listed below are 36 sports and disciplines being featured in the current SEA Games. Basing on the 'aurat' issue, I don't believe that leaves much room for Malaysian Muslims to enjoy participating in full in all future events. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are those most likely to be out of bounds to Muslims, male and female alike, which will account for 17 of the sports or 47.2% of the overall games.
This is close to 50% of potential medals lost before the game even began. If such is the case, would it be any point to participate in future games?
However, I would like to stand corrected on the identification of the games for Muslims.
